Homegrown is the much anticipated follow up to Julie Blackmon's now out of print (and collectable) Domestic Vacations. Blackmon's imaginative images picture a modern-day American Jan Steen household, with a cast of mischievous children and absent minded parents in fashionably appointed scenes. With references to popular culture and classical painting, Blackmon's images are whimsical depictions of family life. The book includes an interview with Blackmon by long-time admirer and collector Reese Witherspoon.

On This Earth, A Shadow Falls
By Nick Brandt$130 Signed — Purchase Book

Now in its third printing, Nick Brandt's On This Earth, A Shadow Falls is photo-eye's all-time best selling book. For years, Brandt has captured the beauty and majesty of Africa's vanishing wildlife in moving black & white portraits.This large scale collection of 90 of Brandt's iconic images has been printed with exceptional attention to detail to capture the velvety blacks of Brandt's painstakingly printed photographs.

France is the newest title from acclaimed photographer Michael Kenna. Famous for his striking black & white photographs, France brings together over 30 years of Kenna's work in the country. Like his other monographs from Nazraeli Press, France is beautifully produced and expected to become collectable.

Now in its 19th year, the Michael Kenna Wall Calendar is a yearly tradition from Nazreali Press — and also a tradition for many photo-eye customers. Featuring 13 images total and printed at an oversized 14x18 inches, Kenna's black & white images are printed here with the same care as his monographs, using "Daido black" ink on uncoated natural Japanese paper. We often hear that customers hang on to the old calendars to leaf through again and again. The 2015 calendar includes images from across the globe, China to Scotland, New Zealand to Ukraine.

Brad Wilson's photographs of animals in captivity are shot in stunning resolution, allowing the viewer to see these creatures with more sharpness and detail than possible with the naked eye. Featuring images of reptiles and big cats, birds of prey, apes and many more, Wilson's images capture every feather around the eyes of a screech owl, the tiny hairs on the top of an elephant's head.
